Description
Imprisoned in the old Durnholde Keep arena is a being comprised of pure mercury. The Forsaken have dubbed it the D-1000. Kill the D-1000 and claim your prize!
It is clearly a reference to Terminator and to be more precise to T2, take note of rings flavor text, is almost what terminator says to John about T-1000, the axe is called of Judgment day as per the title of Terminator 2. The 3rd item is a pun from what i can think to the producers of 3rd and 4th installments of the franchise which kinda failed in what 1st and 2nd movies set as a standard.
The Discontinuer's Hammer would be a pun on the terminator name I think. Hence D-1000 rather than T-1000. (Discontinuer-1000 vs Terminator-1000 in case anyone's not following)
Led by Sylvanas Windrunner, the Forsaken have joined a tenuous alliance with the Horde and established this capital in the vast depths under the Ruins of Lordaeron.
Item facts are the current retail client’s (ItemSparse); the specialisations for a pick-one item are the ones the Blizzard quest API lists; faction and currency text is the client’s own. Lowest listed price = the US commodity auction house now.
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.
Quests whose map markers the client places closest to this one on Hillsbrad Foothills, nearest first. Distances are straight lines between the markers.

According to the guide, Infernus is your next challenge. This being, made of molten lava and raging fire, can be found on the lower level of Durnholde Keep, near the eastern prisons.
The battle over Dun Garok was the bloodiest of all the Hillsbrad battles. The dwarves, outnumbered ten-to-one, fought until the bitter end. Every last one of 'em died in defense of that piece of land. Now I hear claims that the place is haunted. Nobody wants to go near it!
